Sir
We have to acknowledge your of July 30. 1839 in relation to the application of Mrs. Mann. The additional evidence required will be furnished.
In the letter accompanying the papers of Mrs. Mann, we made enquiry in relation to the case of Mrs. Em- erson the widow of a soldier who died shortly after leaving the service in the last war, in consequence of disease induced by exposure while in the ser- vice. Our object was to ascertain if the constitution of any of the acts or such as to include this case in the provisions for a pension to the widow & children &c.
We also in the same letter made similar enqui- ries - requests in relation to the case of John Gor- don. We have received nothing in reply to either of these enquiries, and we have to ask that a copy of your letter in relation to them (if any) may be sent us. And if the subject has not been con- sidered, we ask your attention to it, & beg to refer to our former letter for particulars.

No Value need not copy sent Bangor August 25. 1836 J. L. Edwards Esq.
Sir,
Supposing from the letter of Geo. W. Greenup of June 25 1835 that the only doubt in relation to the claim of John Gordon was, whether what was stated in his declaration "were mere readiness to serve while living at home, which seems to be stated in his declaration, or belonged (belonging) to an embodied corps in actual service" we forwarded a few weeks since two depositions, which prove conclusively that it was not a "mere readiness to serve," but that he was actually in the service. The case supposed was the first to be moved, and that if moved either by showing under what officers he was enlisted mustered and paid" and the "amount of the pay and bounties received" or by the testimony of witness who knew that he actually did serve, all the requisitions of the letter would be answered.
By a letter from the Department under date of August 2. 1836, it appears that a further explanation

as required. Having no copy of his declaration or of the evidence forwarded, we knew not to what points to direct enquiries. Nor are we certain whether it is the object of the department, to require proof by witnesses, or the an amended declaration of the applicant or both. If necessary, and proper for the applicant to make an amended declaration we will on receiving the papers and evidence and instructions as to what points, further explana- tions and evidence are required, cause the same to be done to the satisfaction of the department. If circumstance will enable us to do so we should have directed the attention of the test deponents, whose depositions we but sent more particularly to the length of time of the service testified to by them. Need we not supposed from the letter of June 25 1885, that the only doubt in the case, with the de- partment was whether the service, been re- al, and actual and not a mere recital, to service. The depositions prove the service to be actual. Whether any evidence can be ob- tained from their deponents or from any other source to show the length of the service, we are not able to say. If no evidence exists, we suppose the declarants oath is to be received, there being as in this case evidence to show an actual service. We will

endeavor to satisfy all enquiries, so far as existing circumstances will enable us to do so
We are very respectfully, yours
Appleton Hill,

J. L. Edwards Esq. Com. of Pensions
Enclosed I send you the Depositions of Jessica Gregory, Curtis Tolman and William Gregory. taken in the proof of the claim of John Gordon for a pension. for which his application and declaration and proofs have long since been forwarded to this department.
By the depositions now sent it appears that he served under Capt Phillips Ulmer, and on his being promoted to a majority, under Capt Alexander Kellogg. This is no doubt the true name of the Capt. and is the one intended. When the name of Keller or Kelly is used, as from your letter of July 29 1838, appears to have been the case in some of the papers.
The testimony we now send, was placed in our hands a few days since before forwarded. Although Gordon from poverty and ill health has been long delayed in his application we trust that a favorable consideration will be given to his claim, and that in his extreme old age he may still receive a pittance from the bounty of his country.
Yours truly Asaph Hall
